QuoteAlan McNally's had a horror show by all accounts. Slipped to let Kilduff in for a goal within 90 seconds, then got booked, then slipped again moments later and pulled down Kilduff and got himself sent off.
Would be expecting Wexford to make as many changes as possible tonight. That's been the practice since Shane Keegan took over.

Another Shamrock Rovers game and two more penalties, one for each side this time.
Only Vinny Faherty and Colm Horgan named in starting XI tonight who started on Friday. Sean Gavin who is starting hasn't played yet.
Another good win for us. Great to hear that wardy ran the show and got a near full competitive match under his belt.
does anybody know how the next round works. Is it an open draw or do Dundalk play Rovers for example happen in the next round?

Is there a reason why Sligo played today after playing Saturday, similarly with Wexford and Cobh? Do they believe they'll get a bigger crowd or have the FAI dictated this date? Hard for teams to take it seriously when they aren't given a real chance to put out their best side. Considering the First Division sides only play 27 league games you'd think they could have allowed another day between the games?
doesnt it work by the group that you are drawn in? I know that Bohs are in our group so I would imagine that we would play the winners from their match?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
First 2 rounds were on a regional basis, but draw for quarter-finals (stage we are now at) is a national open draw. Cork, Derry, Dundalk, Galway, Shamrock Rovers and Wexford all in the hat, to be joined by Longford or Mervue; and Pats or Bohs.
As far as I know clubs were given a choice of Monday or Tuesday so it must be the clubs decision to play on the Monday. If clubs are using the league cup to field under strenght sides then playing on a Monday has no real effect. Sligo are in the Setanta cup final on Saturday so it probably suited them to play on Monday.
Quarter final draw is tomorrow (Wednesday)
Bohs 3 Pats 2
Good game.
EA SPORTS Cup quarter-final draw made
The draw for the quarter-finals of the EA SPORTS Cup took place today at FAI Headquarters in Abbotstown.
Holders Shamrock Rovers have been drawn at home to Cork City while SSE Airtricity League Premier Division leaders Dundalk are away to Derry City.
There will be at least one First Division club in the semi-finals as Wexford Youths have been drawn at home to Galway while the third First Division club in the last eight, Longford Town, will host Bohemians.
The draw is as follows:
Derry City v Dundalk
Wexford Youths v Galway
Longford Town v Bohemians
Shamrock Rovers v Cork City
Did any of the clubs have a representative at the draw ?
Yeah a decent watch, Bohs deserved the win.
Here on a technicality.
pats should have been 2/3 up at the half but silly mistakes caught them. Bohs much the better side in the second half

Can't complain about that draw, bar being at home, its our best chance at getting into the semi's.
The Youths are probably saying the same thing.....

Obviously not. Cheers though.
Not happy with the draw, Derry have the worst pitch in Northern Ireland, actually the whole UK!
